Matthew Richards has just posted a full review of the newly announced Sigma 135mm F1.4 DG Art lens (Amazon/ B&H) at digitalcameraworld.
He tested this new lens on Leica SL2 and found such pros: Go-faster f/1.4 aperture, Fabulous image quality , Sophisticated handling and Super-fast autofocus.
Here is the verdict: “It’s a kind of magic. I’ve been entranced by the pictorial quality of some 135mm f/1.8 lenses in the past, from a variety of manufacturers. This f/1.4 prime takes everything to a higher plane. Scintillating sharpness and clarity combines with lavishly soft bokeh to give a truly artistic look to images. And the Sigma’s outstanding image quality is reinforced in practical terms by rapid and unerringly accurate autofocus, delivering an excellent hit rate even in challenging conditions. In my opinion, it’s simply one of the best lenses of all time, and an absolute dream for portraiture and still life photography.”

The Sigma 135mm f/1.4 DG Art would be an uncompromising, specialist lens designed for photographers who demand the absolute maximum in subject isolation, low-light performance, and optical perfection. It would be massive, heavy, and expensive, but for its target audience, it would be a tool without equal.
